Problem 3. How to load Sony NEX-F3 MTS to iMovie for editing on Mac?

I’m using this Sony NEX-F3 camera at 3 month. It’s really amazing taking pictures at night both inside and outside. With stabilizing the camera, shooting at night landscape I can get very clear images. It’s very easy to setup the camera even the shortcuts at the manual mode. The recording in HD resolution has a good quality, even seen on Full HD LED TV. But the recorded file is AVCHD format. That means the 1080/60i MTS/M2TS recordings are can’t be edited directly in iMovie on Mac OS X. How to convert Sony NEX-F3 AVCHD MTS/M2TS recordings to iMovie editable video format on Mac OS X.
